25. How did you jump to that conclusion?

“The president will urge the House to pass the clean C.R. to reopen the government, and call on Congress to act to raise the debt ceiling to pay the bills we have already incurred and avoid devastating consequences on our economy,” an administration official said.

Invited were Speaker John A. Boehner, Republican of Ohio; Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic minority leader; Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader; and Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.

Also on Wednesday, the House will vote on bills to reopen national parks and museums, restart veterans’ programs, finance medical research, pay the National Guard and Reserves, and cover services in the District of Columbia.

The Republicans suffered embarrassing losses on Tuesday night when three bills — to finance veterans’ programs, national parks and museums, and services in Washington — failed to get the two-thirds majority required to pass under fast-track procedures.

Not for nothing - but that meeting is three against two . . . and Nancy being the Nancy I respect - that's actually 10 against 2. She gets into things for longevity and distance. If I'm Reid and Obama I'm happy that fierce tiny woman is on my side.
